A man in Houston was injured early on Christmas morning when he was struck by a stray bullet that fell from the sky while riding in a car. The incident occurred in a Houston-area neighborhood, and Houston police, along with city firefighters, responded to a call about reports of a shooting just after midnight on Monday.
Upon arrival at the scene, authorities discovered that the victim, a male, had been wounded by a bullet that had come through the sunroof and hit him in the shoulder. The female driver, who witnessed the sudden injury, immediately called 911 for help. First responders arrived promptly, and the injured man was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
In response to this alarming incident, Houston officers released a video on their social media platforms, cautioning the public against celebratory gunfire. They emphasized the illegal and dangerous nature of such actions and highlighted the fact that bullets shot into the air can come down with serious consequences. The video reminded everyone that “what goes up must come down.”
The Houston Police Department is currently investigating the situation surrounding the falling bullet. Authorities are working to determine the origin of the bullet and the events leading up to its fall. As of now, there has been no comment from the Houston Police Department in response to inquiries from Digital.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with celebratory gunfire. The local community and the public at large are urged to refrain from engaging in this illegal and hazardous behavior. The safety of individuals should always be a top priority, especially during festive occasions.
